RE: rc* scripts to start/stop IDS

On Solaris (and most other UNIX's I can think of) the 'S' scripts are run at startup and the 'K' scripts are run at shutdown. If you go digging through the man pages and some of the system scripts you can see where these come into play. I use symbolic links between these files since I can recognize the link via ls (ls -aCF). This is just a personal preference. You should use whatever you like (or are more confortable with). The script below looks good, but here is a quick rewrite (I usually use something like it). Note how the common environmental variables are grouped at the top so there is no duplication of effort. Check the man pages on su (I am not sure about the -c syntax; I am currently using AIX). #!/sbin/sh # # Informix start/stop script INFORMIXDIR=/opt/informix INFORMIXSERVER=ol_prueba_shm ONCONFIG=onconfig.203 export INFORMIXDIR INFORMIXSERVER ONCONFIG PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:$INFORMIXDIR/bin:$PATHexport PATH case "$var" in 'start') su - informix -c "$INFORMIXDIR/bin/oninit" ;; 'stop') su - informix -c "$INFORMIXDIR/bin/onmode -yuck" ;; esac exit 0 # END SC >===== Original Message From "Sistema Unico \\(CNA\\)" <sisdis@tournet.com.ar> ===== >Hi, > >Especial thanks to Mark and SC for their help.
